Michael Porter is a semi-professional racing in national and international multiclass championships. He competes primarily in Ferrari Challenge, where he drives Ferrari 488 and 296 Challenge cars for Ferrari of Seattle, and in the 24H Series, where he shares a GT3 car with co-drivers in endurance racing across multiple countries. His record spans 100 starts across four series since 2005, with 1 win and 4 podiums.[1]
Porter's most significant success came in Ferrari Challenge, where he took 1 win and 2 podiums across 32 starts between 2022 and 2026. He spent 13 seasons in NASA's Spec Miata class between 2005 and 2018, accumulating 59 starts with 1 podium finish. He added brief campaigns in SCCA Majors in 2022 and 2023, finishing 70th in the championship standings, and began racing in the 24H Series in 2025, taking 1 podium from 4 starts in shared-drive GT3 racing.[2]
In Ferrari Challenge, Porter operates in a field that includes established professionals and graded drivers alongside semi-professional entrants. His record places him mid-pack in that company; he has occasionally finished ahead of much stronger drivers, including established professional Maro Engel and former Formula 1 driver Sergey Sirotkin, though these remain isolated results. Against his most frequent opponents in NASA and SCCA racing, he typically finishes behind both Gale Corley and Kevin Pyles.
